Marilyn Manson Keyboard Spring

JB Springs have recently taken an order to produce a spring to replicate one used by Marilyn Manson during his ‘Guns, God and Government’ tour in 2001. The spring was used by the band’s keyboard player ‘Pogo’ to swing a keyboard from – this can be seen throughout the video of the L.A. performance below but up close at roughly 47 minutes 14 seconds. Our spring will be used by a Marilyn Manson tribute act from Bradford. Warning: Video [...]

Max Stress Character Brought To Life By Competition Winner

JB Springs recently ran a competition with a few regional universities to design a mascot for Springtelligence. The brief was to design an avatar to promote Springtelligence that would appeal to 5-10 year olds and in some way relate to springs. We received entries from Leeds Arts University, Leeds University and Manchester Metropolitan University. Once all of the entries were in, each employee was given the opportunity to vote for their favourite. Suzy Ellwood’s design from Leeds Arts University [...]

South Craven Careers Fair

Earlier this month JB Springs attended a careers fair at South Craven School. We spoke with many students about pursuing a career in engineering and the apprenticeships we offer. Our aim at JB Springs is to take on 2 or 3 new apprentices each year, some of whom have come from South Craven School previously, so this was a great opportunity to engage current students about careers in engineering and what JB Springs can offer as an employer.

No Escape For Springtelligence Students

JB Springs apprentices and employees who fail to solve a series of spring based problems may find themselves spending more time at work than they planned.

The escape room is inside the original office from the John Binns & Son Factory at Fleece Street, Keighley. [...]

Fundamental Mistakes in Spring Design

Springs are very often overlooked in the design process of new products. It is no exaggeration to say that they are a key functional component in most mechanical devices and that, without a properly designed spring, the products functionality and lifespan is adversely affected. The spring is often considered a small and inexpensive part of a much larger article, therefore the designer will recognise that there is a requirement for a spring, but may leave the specification of the [...]
